Why does a crosswind represent a real danger to driving safety?
Safe driving
Explanation
**Crosswind** represents a real danger to driving safety because it can cause the vehicle to **lose control** and, in extreme cases, **overturn**. This occurs because the crosswind exerts a force on the vehicle that can destabilize it, especially if it is a two-wheeled vehicle or if it is towing a trailer.
The risk is greater in situations such as when passing another vehicle, overtaking large vehicles, or driving near buildings and trees, where the wind can appear suddenly. To mitigate these risks, it is important to **drive more slowly**, hold the steering wheel firmly, and keep the windows closed.
